The Father Duenas Friars were declared the champions of the IIAAG High School Tennis Boys’ League, as announced recently by the Independent Interscholastic Athletic Association of Guam. The three-time defending Friars made it four straight, but the latest one was determined by a tiebreaker.

The Friars tied the Harvest Christian Academy Eagles 28-28 in their head-to-head match during the season and both teams finished with identical 8-0-1 records. The Friars were determined as champions using the IIAAG tiebreaker guidelines, since the Friars allowed fewer games (58 vs. 73) during the season.
This marks the second four-peat for the Friars and their eighth championship in the last 10 years.

"Winning a championship is always amazing; doing it four years in a row for the second time is humbling," said coach Dan Tinsay. "All credit to the guys since they worked all season to achieve this, pulling together even more so when Camden Camacho was in Oman for the Davis Cup. Congratulations to the entire team, particularly the seniors, since they have won a championship each of their years."
